Overseer of Abu Ghraib in Cleveland Monday

With the recent announcement of Lt. Col. Steven L. Jordan being charged for the crimes committed at Abu Ghraib, the scandal of American torture in Iraq has made its way back into the headlines. Jordan is the highest ranking officer to be charged in the incident. Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski oversaw the 800th MP Brigade which ran several detention facilities in Iraq, including Abu Ghraib. She was relieved of duty and eventually reprimanded but was not court martialed. Karpinski has spoken out against how she was treated, saying she has been scapegoated to take the fall for something that goes all the way back to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. On Monday, Karpinski and Captain James Yee, the former military Chaplain at Guantanamo Bay who was falsely charged with aiding Al Qaida and Taliban prisoners, will be speaking at Case Western University. You can catch Karpinski being interviewed on Blackout News Monday at 1:00pm on 91.1 fm. If you miss it then, be sure to check out Tuesday's Guerrilla Radio at 1:00pm.
